Chapter 51: The Closing Ceremony

This reporter's name is Li Yilan, the ace reporter of "Southern"!

In other words, since Yuan Lei became the director of the Ministry of Culture, there are few big reporters in the real sense of the southern department, especially those who can talk to big flowers and big directors!

At the peak of "Southern Weekly", it could make Zhang Yimou's reputation stinky!

The most ferocious voice that criticized Zhang Yimou at the beginning was "Southern Weekly"!

Of course, film critic Zhu Dake is also the main force among them, the ghost knows what this person wants to do, after scolding Xie Jing and scolding Zhang Yimou, it seems that all directors in China are shit in his eyes!

What's special, I have the ability to make one myself!

"Why did you make 'Truman's World'?"

"yes, why?"

Li Yilan was originally interviewing Qin Hailu, but after seeing Bai Xiaofei, her eyes lit up, and she asked when she caught him.

"It's just that I suddenly have an idea, and then I shoot it!"

The reporter still didn't give up: "How can you have such an idea? ”

“… I participated in a reality show last year, which was Sister Ziyi's "The Birth of an Actor", and I was very uncomfortable, because what I said had to be told according to the director's preset position, so I thought that if there was a person who was exposed to the camera from life to death, and he was surrounded by actors, that kind of life would be terrible..."

Xiaobai reluctantly said two words of truth.

"Actually, at the beginning, I wanted to find Jim Carrey to star, but unfortunately the schedule didn't match, so I came by myself!"

“… I'm curious, why did you want Qin Hailu to play his wife, after all, there is an age gap between the two of you..."

"It's suitable, to put it bluntly, I can't find other actors, I'm about the same age, I can't support the role, everyone is playing a girly feeling... I'm really convinced, you said that you are in your thirties, can you act something else? ”

I couldn't help it, and I complained a few words...

Then, the girl asked a few more questions, and the scale was quite good, and Xiaobai rarely chatted a few words of truth.

"Actually, I've always wanted to cooperate with Sister Ziyi, but I didn't have a particularly good opportunity, so I found her this time when the script was suitable."

"What movie do you most want to make? Uh, I want to make a movie that can call all the senior brothers and sisters of the class of 96, but the script is too difficult to write, and I don't have any good ideas..."

"Of course I prefer the actors of Chinese opera, but I still don't agree with the statement of 'Chinese opera actors, Nortel stars', in fact, the teachers teach the same, every acting school, including the play, when they recruit students, they must be ugly and ugly, it is impossible to be a handsome guy, and the play can't be watched!"

"Me? I've been studying drama since I was a child, and my line skills are definitely a little higher than the average person, and it's normal for teachers to recruit me in! ”

"What are you expecting to win? It's okay, I think I've reached my goal anyway, and the global distribution of the film is handed over to Lionsgate..."

……

In the past few days, Xiaobai has been running around drinking parties and activities.

I don't have much time to spare, but I also found time to watch Hirokazu Kore-eda's "Thief Family", and he has always liked Hirokazu Kore-eda's type of director.

And then there's Asghar Farrhati's "Everyone Knows", an Iranian director who is amazing, "A Farewell", "The Salesman" won two Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film...

By the way, I also watched "Piercing Heart", and I was simply attracted by the poster - an erotic visual feast, and after watching it, I realized that this is a man...

The typical Parisian low-cost tri* film...

But it's still not comparable to the Venice Film Festival, people have "Female Addict", "Anatomy of Hell", and "Intimacy", which aim to expose the most primitive and wild ** collision!

What's the difference between this and Ivy?

By the way, the beach party in "Truman's World" worked well!

Of course, Zhang Ziyi contributed a lot, but the movie itself also accounted for a large proportion!

A bunch of filmmakers crowded to get acquainted with Xiaobai...

There are even producers who want to cooperate, Paramount has taken a fancy to the copyright of "Truman's World", and they want to buy it and remake an American version...

This Xiaobai doesn't care, a wave of publicity can also increase attention, as for whether it will affect the North American box office of "Truman's World", forget it, Xiaobai didn't expect "Truman's World" to win much box office in North America at all, the original time and space is because of Jim Carrey, Bai Xiaofei may still have a bit of status in the Chinese film industry, the world film industry, to be honest, is really not as good as Lu Chuan!

Bi Gan's "The Last Night on Earth" premiered, and Xiaobai also went to cheer, after all, he was the director who debuted at the same time that year, and he also robbed Xiaobai's Golden Horse rookie director...

Well, frankly speaking, "The Last Night on Earth" is too stream-of-consciousness, and I haven't understood it at all with Xiaobai...

According to film critics, "The Last Night on Earth" is essentially a remake of "Roadside Picnic", this "upgraded" shooting method makes up for many of the shortcomings of the previous work, and the 3D long shot makes the image atmosphere to the extreme, which is enough to make people indulge in it...

It suddenly dawned on him, no wonder he didn't understand, "Roadside Picnic", he couldn't understand it, and this time it was nothing.

Xiaobai is too far away from the master...

It's like Bi Gan, film critics mentioned him and said that this is a director in the direction of Wang Jiawei, Hou Xiaoxian, and Tarkovsky!

……

Today's Cannes Film Festival is not what it used to be, the entire world film industry has been hit by Hollywood, and Europe has long lost its position as the center of world cinema, even if the French have never recognized it, but it is an indisputable fact that it is becoming more and more difficult for the Cannes Film Festival to attract big-name movie stars.

Most of the actors and directors who have made a name for themselves in Europe will go to Hollywood, and only when they win honors in North America can they be considered celebrity film history!

Of course, this also has a lot to do with the European tax system, for example, in France, the tax on the rich is terrible - the rich with an annual income of more than 1 million euros are levied a "special rich tax" with a tax rate of nearly 75%!

It means that you have earned 2 million, but you only have 1.25 million in actual hands...

Directly scared the boss of LV away...

In order to expand the influence of the film festival and maintain a certain degree of discourse on film art, the three major film festivals have become more and more open in the past ten years, especially in the last three or five years, and have paid more and more attention to publicity, building momentum, pulling stars to help, standing on the platform, etc., which they did not pay much attention to before.

The most typical thing is that although they have repeatedly advocated that they are sticking to the position of film art and have never concealed their contempt for Hollywood commercial blockbusters, in recent years, the three major European film festivals have begun to actively attract big directors, big stars and big productions in the United States.

Even if you don't participate in the awards, come and do a round to do a promotion, the film festival officials are very welcome!

As long as there are enough coffee seats, as long as you are willing to come, the festival will be heavily promoted!

In fact, you can see it from the lineup of judges!

The chairman is Kate Bratchett, an Oscar-winning actress, of course, she is Australian, but everyone knows that this is a Hollywood movie star!

The eight judges, in addition to Zhang Zhen, Andrei Sargintsev, Robert Gdikiyan, Khadja Nin, the other four are all famous Hollywood actors and directors, you say Léa Seydoux, she is a 'Bond girl'...

It's popular, just look at the screams on the red carpet at the closing ceremony!

Even Kristen Stewart, the heroine of "Twilight", can't compare to Kate's style!

The queen of the red carpet is not blown out!

People don't have to send a press release to blow the 'glamorous pressure', it's a real town.

Walking on the red carpet of the closing ceremony, the crew of "Truman's World", Xiaobai rarely waved to both sides in a high-profile manner...

That's the case, generally the crew who can get the invitation to the closing ceremony will definitely have a prize, as for what the award is, then wait and see!
